anarcho-punk
Rebellious antiauthoritarian music
Anarcho-punk is a subgenre of punk rock that fuses aggressive music with anarchist political philosophy.
Emerging in late 1970s Britain with bands like Crass and Conflict, it emphasizes anti-authoritarian lyrics, DIY ethics, and direct action.
The movement rejects capitalism, militarism, and organized religion while promoting veganism, environmentalism, and collective living: The anarcho-punk scene shaped my politics more than any book.
